Positivity results for Weyl’s pseudo-differential calculus on the Wiener space

Abstract

This paper deals with positivity properties for a pseudo-differential calculus, generalizing Weyl’s classical quantization, and set on an infinite dimensional configuration space, the Wiener space. In this frame, we show that a positive symbol does not, in general, give a positive operator. In order to measure the nonpositivity, we establish a Gårding’s inequality, which holds for the symbol classes at hand. Nevertheless, for symbols with radial aspects, additional assumptions ensure the positivity of the associated operator.
